Making a Mustard

[beerbreath81]

Got some dried peppers from pepperlover thought i try a small batch of mustard, if good will duplicate on larger scale
 
Yellow Bhut Mustard:
(got recipe by looking at a bottle of frenchs mustard ingrediant list, omited the garlic)
 
Start by grinding one of these in coffee grinder, and place in bowl

 
put one of these in the bowl

 
add 1/4 bottle of one of these

 
then add 1/2 tbls of paprika, and 1.5 tsp salt, should look something like this

 
then add 1/4 cup water, 3/4 cup AC vinegar, stir with whisk
 
i rehydrated 7 of these beauties

 
and threw all into food processor

 
learned that i should have just ground the bhuts in the coffee grinder too...food processor left chunks....had to run through food mill after. Here is end results

 
Taste: Very mustard/horseradishy....will put in fridge to mellow for about two months

That's a great looking mustard. I also make my own every so often. I soak my seeds for a few hrs though, it tends to mellow out the bitterness and the nose burn. Also, the amount of vinegar you use, and when you use it, will mellow it out as well. Sort of like with horseradish, the more vinegar, the less pungent it is. Also, I never boil it though, just put in microwave for 30 seconds.
